Nurse Call
System
Description of system
ALCAD Nurse Call System is a nursing
communication and management system
using IP technology that can be used for
both wired and wireless connections. The
features of this system make it ideal for use
in hospitals, homes, supervised apartments
and day centres.
2
Increases the safety and comfort of patients
and residents
The system is comprised of a set of pushbuttons
and wireless sensors which make it possible
for nursing staff to keep track at all times of
the state of each patient or resident, thereby
increasing their safety and comfort.
Optimises the work of nursing staff
Information is sent to fixed control posts,
computers and wireless terminals. This
enables communication between patients and
nurses regardless of location, thus optimising
the work of the nursing staff.
Care work management
The system is complemented with
management software, which enables staff
to record all events and generate alarm and
care reports.
IP technology. Convergence of
communications and ease of installation
and maintenance.
IP technology allows the convergence of a
centre’s communications, including:
Patient-nurse, television, telephony, Internet
and CCTV. In addition, it allows for the future
inclusion of further systems by the same
means.
Wireless System
The wireless feature enables the system to be
used in places where wired installations are
complicated.
Adaptability and Extensibility
The system is fully modular and highly
versatile, adapts to the characteristics of
each centre and is very easy to extend.
Besides being a patient-nurse communication system, the monitoring system includes the following
features:
U VoIP switchboard.
U Access control.
U Domotics. It can control lighting, airconditioning or any other installation through
the set of in/out connections it includes.
U Roam alert system.
U Safety. It includes a range of sensors such
as door/window, movement, smoke and
water leakage.
U Interconnection with other systems to
centralise communications and alarms
across the centre.
U PA system. The control post in each room
can be used as a PA system for alarm warnings.
3
Room control post and devices
The room post controls the pushbuttons, lights,
g
and
sensors in a room; it sends alarms and establishes
communication with the nursing staff. It is a versatile
and flexible element that allows for future adaptations
p
and extensions. Its most relevant features
tures are:
U IP Technology, incorporating
VoIP (voice over IP) standards.
U Possibility of wireless
communication.
U Hands-free voice
communication.
U Information display showing
current state of the room and
alarms in other rooms.
U Possibility of viewing and
responding to alarms from
other rooms (mobile control
post).
4
U Different levels of alarm.
U Staff and/or patient
identification by RFID.
U Care work documentation from
the room itself.
U Presence sensor system for
the resident in the room or
supervised apartment.
U PA system in all rooms.
U Hands-free phone.
U Braille keyboard to enable
operation by visually impaired
residents.
U Domotics and systems control.
The room central unit has 16
out/in connections that can
be configured to control room
elements and external devices.
Ideal for connection with other
systems such as perfusion
pumps, lighting, blinds, other
types of sensors or any other
element with out/in digital
connections.
The system is equipped with a wide range
of devices fulfilling many functionalities and
adaptable to the characteristics of each
centre.
UÊPushbuttons and pull cords.
U Optical and acoustic signage.
U Wireless pushbuttons
U RFID card reader
U Wireless sensors for door/window and movement
5
Control posts
There are different types of control posts: fixed control
post, wireless phone or PC. All control posts have the
same basic communication functionalities and one type
or another may be used depending on each centre’s
characteristics.
U Fixed control post. Allows viewing
and responding to the alarms of
different rooms at the same time,
as well as added value functions
such as shift changeovers.
U Wireless phone. Can be a Dect
or Wifi terminal. This device
is used to see the alarms and
communicate with the room, in
addition to working as a regular
wireless phone.
6
U PC-based control post. Shows the
alarms and reports thanks to the
Atica Monitoring management
software. The computer at the
nursing post can be used, thanks
to it being Web-based.
U Control post in another room.
Alarms can also be viewed and
responded to from the control
post of a different room.

UÊExternal control post. Thanks to VoIP (voice over IP), the control
posts can be in the same building or at a great distance, through
an Internet connection. This is useful in the event of wanting to use
an external call centre for management of supervised apartments
or to control several centres from a single location.
7
Monitoring Software
The management software controls the
entire system and offers more advanced
functionalities.
U Record of alarms and response times.
U Display of alarms in map format, indicating
alarm levels and presence of patient/resident
in room or supervised apartment.
U Care work documenting on the computer or
from the room itself.
U Automatic work process traceability system
using RFID identification cards.
U Generation of reports and statistics related to
supervision of patients, work management or
centre-specific data.
U Patient, resident and bed management.
U Shift management.
U Connection with hospital
management systems.
or
resident
U Configuration and customisation of the
system in accordance with the centre’s
characteristics.

The software is Web-based and has the following main features:
U Software installation. To view the software, a
computer equipped with an Internet browser is
required, with no operating system requirements.
It can be used on any computer, with no need for
installation, such as the PC at the control post.
U Autotest system. The system continuously tests the
state of all elements. In the event of detecting an
anomaly, it sends a warning to the maintenance
service through an internal call, an external call,
an email or a mobile message (SMS).
U Remote running. The system can be run from the
building itself or from outside. That is why it is
possible to control several centres from a single
location.
U Tele-maintenance. It allows users to know the
state of the patient-nurse system, reconfigure
its operation, make back-up copies and update
software.
U All these tasks can be carried out either from the
centre itself or from outside.

Wandering Prevention
VoIP Telephone Switchboard
Wandering Prevention
ALCAD has incorporated the WANDERING PREVENTION
solution into its patient-nurse call system, as it has mechanisms
which can monitor the patients to prevent them from leaving
the centre, thus facilitating the work of the staff.
The wandering prevention solution is a waterproof,
identificatory, ergonomic bracelet which is worn by the
patient. Activators are installed in the monitored areas
(entrance doors etc) which detect when a wanderer passes
through the area. The alarm management system can be
set to respond in a variety of ways, including light signal
warnings, closing of doors, or a message sent to the patientnurse call system that an incident has occurred in the area,
so that the nursing staff can take the appropriate action.
VoIP Telephone Switchboard
ALCAD Nurse Call System is also a VoIP telephone switchboard that enables internal
communications within the building and external communications as well as connection
with another telephone switchboard.
Cost reduction.
U Reduces initial investment
required given that the system
incorporates it from the start.

Switchboard functionalities.
Full range of devices.
UÊRating.
U IP phones, analogue phones,
Dect, Wifi or Softphones.
U Automatic answering.
U Ideal for communication
between several centres, being
free of charge.
U Voice mail.
U Internet telephony rates are
lower.
U Videoconference between
rooms and nursing control
posts.
U Voice mail messages to email
addresses.
U Ability to connect to
management systems.
U Adaptors for analogue lines,
ISDN Basic or ISDN Primary
lines.
Systems Integration
Systems Integration
ALCAD Nurse Call System becomes the building’s communication management
system thanks to its integration capabilities through the room’s control post or
communications server.
Because it uses IP technology, all communications can use the same physical
environment: patient-nurse, television, phone, Internet and CCTV.
